SQL Cluster in VMware vShpere 4

VMware ESX 4
Update 1SQL Server 2008 slipstreamed with SP1
Windows Server 2008 R2


You will need to use E1000 network adapters (as the drivers are included in windows), uninstall VMware tools, install SQL Server 2008 in clustered mode, then reinstall vmware tools. Something in VMware tools seems to be causing the problem.

Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 fails on virtual machines running Windows Server 2008 R2 that are configured in a Microsoft Cluster

Save Settings for TeamViewer Portable

-
Work with TeamViewer.ini situated in \TeamViewerPortable\App\teamviewer folder. Setting nosave=0 will save your settings, but in the registry, and that doesn`t make it portable. The thing to do is importsettings=1 wich activate the automatic settings import. TeamViewer Portable will import the settings from a file called tv.ini which has to be situated in the same directory as your TeamViewer.exe. You can create the tv.ini by exporting your settings in the advanced options of the full TeamViewer version (Extras > Options > Advanced > Show advanced options > Export settings for TeamViewer Portable). This works in the oficial portable release from TeamViewer.com. In the PortableApps.com release, tv.ini must be situated in \TeamViewerPortable\App\teamviewer folder. Also, by setting LogOutgoingConnections=1 in the TeamViewer.ini file you can force TeamViewer to write a log file with detailed information about your connections. This log file is used by the TV Manager...

Windows 7 / Windows Search 4 does NOT support UNC network location indexing

-
WDS v3 gets the support, but Microsoft has disabled the support of UNC indexing in WDS v4, even the Windows Search in Windows 7. There're a lot of discussion about how to overcome this step-down functionality ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/afb904c1-1c61-4aae-b6b1-5cf525b9f8de/ ). There is a simple way. Go to  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=3383  to download a patch called UNCFATPHInstaller.msi . Although the KB states that the patch works only for Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows XP, it actually does work for Windows 7. After patching, the WDS v4 will recognize OTFS protocol handler, as seen in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. You could now specify indexing location in Group Policy, which format stated in ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732491(WS.10).aspx ) Please noted that the patch only supports 32 bit.
